Château Angélus 2010
Saint-Émilion, Premier Grand Cru Classé A
This is a classic vintage, amazingly rich and outstandingly precise. Deep black color, strong, pure aromas and an impressive, subdy expressed tannic structure. This lushness combined with its elegant freshness that cornes mainly from the beautiful Cabernet Franc grapes, makes this magnificent vintage a very long-keeping wine.
“Deep garnet colored 2010 Angélus is an atomic bomb of powerful fruit scents from the moment the cork is pulled! Boysenberries, stewed plums, blackcurrant cordial and black raspberries all burst from the glass, followed up by nuances of tar, star anise, mocha and unsmoked cigars plus a waft of camphor. The big, rich, full-bodied palate is built like a brick house, featuring super firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness to support the taut, muscular black fruits, finishing very long and savory. It’s starting to enter its drinking window, but based on this tasting, I would recommend waiting another 3-5 years before broaching and then drinking it over the next 40+ years.
